  2. Cumene process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumene_process

    The cumene radical then bonds with an oxygen molecule to give cumene peroxide radical, which in turn forms cumene hydroperoxide (C 6 H 5 C(CH 3) 2 O 2 H) by abstracting a benzylic hydrogen from another cumene molecule. This latter cumene converts into cumene radical and feeds back into subsequent chain formations of cumene hydroperoxides.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumene

    Cumene (isopropylbenzene) is an organic compound that contains a benzene ring with an isopropyl substituent. It is a constituent of crude oil and refined fuels. It is a flammable colorless liquid that has a boiling point of 152 °C.

  4. Friedel–Crafts reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedel–Crafts_reaction

    In commercial applications, the alkylating agents are generally alkenes, some of the largest scale reactions practiced in industry.Such alkylations are of major industrial importance, e.g. for the production of ethylbenzene, the precursor to polystyrene, from benzene and ethylene and for the production of cumene from benzene and propene in cumene process:

  5. n-Propylbenzene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-Propylbenzene

    n-Propylbenzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon with the formula C 6 H 5 CH 2 CH 2 CH 3.The molecule consists of a propyl group attached to a phenyl ring. It is a colorless liquid. A more common structural isomer of this compound is cumene.

    benzene – the simplest aromatic hydrocarbon ethylbenzene – made from benzene and ethylene styrene – made by dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene; used as a monomer polystyrenes – polymers with styrene as a monomer; cumene – isopropylbenzene; a feedstock in the cumene process. phenol – hydroxybenzene; often made by the cumene process

  7. Cumene hydroperoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumene_hydroperoxide

    Cumene hydroperoxide is the organic compound with the formula C 6 H 5 C(CH 3) 2 OOH. An oily liquid, it is classified as an organic hydroperoxide. [2] Products of decomposition of cumene hydroperoxide are methylstyrene, acetophenone, and 2-phenyl-2-propanol. [3] It is produced by treatment of cumene with oxygen, an autoxidation.

  8. Phenol - Wikipedia

    Accounting for 95% of production (2003) is the cumene process, also called Hock process. It involves the partial oxidation of cumene (isopropylbenzene) via the Hock rearrangement: [8] Compared to most other processes, the cumene process uses mild conditions and inexpensive raw materials. For the process to be economical, both phenol and the ...
